Does “asbestos free” mean no asbestos on the surface and inside?
Yes. If we apply asbestos-free labels, we are stating that this material has been abated or installed after 1980. We would normally only apply asbestos-free labels in an area where there is also known asbestos insulation. We gave an example during the presentation where new insulation was applied directly over old insulation. We would not do this anymore unless we would explicitly label the material as asbestos.
